Oxyclean posted:90 exdr question: Is Stigma Dreamscape just playing eScape? For some reason I had thought it was a different mix. It's a recording of the song played by the band live. Rather than the mix from O11.

The version of the song played in that dungeon can be found on the Journeys arrange album from a couple years ago.

So I just turned 88 with Reaper (well I'm 89 now but I've been doing roulettes). How does Plentiful Harvest work? I don't understand what decides if I can use the ability or not.

You need at least one stack of Immortal Sacrifice, which you have a chance to get whenever you or a party member land a GCD attack while Arcane Circle is active. It can stack up to 8 and Plentiful Harvest does more damage when you have more stacks, but you can also use it with just one stack if you just want the 50 shroud gauge ASAP.

You also cannot use it for at least 6 seconds once you've hit Arcane Circle.

It would be nice if they could work on making seasonal event hats wearable for Viera and Hrothgar. The latter would look great in a little top hat.

Yeah once Plentiful Harvest is pressable, you already have as many stacks as you're going to get. There's no point in waiting.

Following up on that display of mastery, I’m interested in trying the ex trials and even a peek at maybe savage raid, but I’m terribly intimidated and not what I really consider to be a very good player (I routinely go half a dungeon before remembering to draw a card on AST, for example). Is there some path to practice that would improve confidence and skill, or should I just satisfy myself aiming for mechanic-perfect runs of p1-4n?

Pretty much just look up a guide for the job you're gonna play and then practice getting your opener and general rotation on a dummy until you feel like you can do it without looking at your hotbars. Then look up a video guide for the fight you wanna try your hand at. EX fights are harder than Normal raids but they don't demand perfection and you can absolutely clear even if everyone sucks and has bad-mediocre gear.

...or it's not gold! I'm 0 for 2 in talking about mechanics in the past few minutes, being wrong on both accounts. Maybe I should actually just need to go to bed instead of staying up...

If you're going in as dps, you can try out the Stone, Sky, Sea target dummies for the current content. If you can clear, or get close, your base job mechanics are fine. If you're far from the mark, and you meet the ilvl requirements, your rotation or something mechanical needs work. DPS output is less important for tanks or healers, but you can use the normal raids as a step stool for tanking or healing, as well as doing dps under boss mechanics. The Extremes are still a big step up from normal trials and raids, so the legit best method of learning is either join or create a learning group. Bring some friends so you know you'll have a chill group. Most groups at this point will also expect you know the basics through a video or text guide, so that doesn't hurt.

Despite doing every extreme in the game that I can think of, I still get nervous and put off joining new content for way too long. So I know your hesitancy, friend.

The current Ex trials have relatively lenient dps checks, so if you're dipping your toe in for the first time focus on learning the mechanics and the timing of when things happen. You'll want to make sure your output is good too, but having a flawless opener doesn't mean much if you splat to the first thing more complicated than a telegraphed AoE circle. Video guides help, but actually running the trials is important to figure out the timing of when things happen and how fast. It's kind of a process of learning a dance, sometimes with a decision to move left or move right depending on what the boss is doing. Once you get used to an ex fight or savage raid, your approach to beating it will actually be very similar every time.

There's no real rush with new master recipes being a fair ways out, so I'd honestly recommend doing it via Beast Tribes instead. I got all my crafters to 70 doing that, and probably would've taken them to 80 if Dwarves dropped sooner. I had a little routine where I'd log on in the morning and do my dailies with a cup of coffee, and it was a pretty relaxing experience. It'll take a couple of months, but it's a much saner way of getting them to 90 if you find the process of crafting while listening to a podcast interminably dull.

I hammered all of my crafters to max in the span of, like, 2-3 days, and that was with me being leve starved and having to resort to largely doing collectables.

The other part of getting into hard fights is preparing yourself mentally. Don't be afraid to fail as part of the learning process, and don't be too stubborn if others are offering advice. Ask questions if you need some help with understanding something.
